PEPPER WHIT OIL.
Where It is Grown, How Distilled,
and Whittier Shipped.

''The spectators are at work again.,
said a wholesale druggist to New
York Mail reporter. when shown dis
patch from Lyons. n. Y, stating that
there are over 200,0 pounds of pepper
mint oil in Wayne county, and, in con-
sequence, the price is lower than at any
time in the past thirty years.
Peppermint is small crop compared
with wheat or corn," he continued, land
it is grown on small territory, Wayne
county, in this state, producing nearly
all the peppermint Oil that is used in the
world. These facts make it tempting
field for speculation"
"How do the spectators Operator"
''They begin just as that dispatch indi-
Gates: first. by saying that there is large
quantity of oil held over from last year,
which is not true; then they OverState
the amount on hand, and finally, they
clinch the matter by saying that only
$3.50 pound is offered. That price
may be offered, but the farmers who
produce the oil are too sharp too sell at
less than $3.50 a pound, and they will
hold it, and beat the spectators at their
own game"
why is not more of it raised?"
"The mint requires peculiar soil, and
special care is needed both of the plant
and the distilling of the oil. The crop
a rich. sandy loan. The mint is planted
in burrows so inches apart, and while
growing requires great deal of culti-
walton, as every weed has to be kept out,
otherwise the Oil would not be good.
When full grown and in bloom it is cut
with a scythe and hauled to the still as
soon as it is Wilted.
Large steam tubs with tightly-fitting
covers are used to hold the mint, which
is tramped down thoroughly. The steam
is turned on at the bottom, and, passing
upward through the mass of mint, va
pOrizes the oil and carries it out and
through pipe at the top. This pipe
carries the steam and oil into spiral
worm or cooler surrounded by cold
water Here the steam is condensed into
water and the oil floats on top of it,.
Both now pass to receiving tank,
which has an overflow pipe running
from the bottom up nearly to level
with the top. The object of this is to
draw off the water from the bottom
and leave the oil to be dipped from the
top. The oil is as clear in color as the
best kerosene. 1t is packed in tin cans
for shipment, and is sent all over the
United States, and considerable of it
goes abroad"
rs there none raised in Europe?'
"Yes, Germany produces little, but
we send more to Germany than Ger
many raises, and we furnish not only
England and France, but Russia and
Austria as well. The greatest use for it
is in confectionery. Peppermint lozen-
ges are eaten from one end of the globe
to the other, and you can form some
idea of the quantity of them made from
the fact that $3.50. 900 worth of the oil is
used every year to flavor them"

The Fleck o. Gold.

There is found in the chasm of the
Devils Bite, Wyoming, and there alone,
a curious little animal which is
generally known as the fieck O. gold,
though it also rejoices in the equally
glittering names of the golden guide
and the golden gopher. The fieck
O. gold is of a general golden hue. This
hue represents the various shades of
gold. from the duller cOlOrS of the pre-
cious metal in its native state to the
brilliancy given by the stamp of the
mint. The duller hues are blended ON
the body. while the brighter one spreads
itself along the tail. This tail is the
glory of the fleck O. gold and the won
der of the beholder. Fifteen inches in
length, or more than three times as long
as the little animal of which it is dag
zling continuation, this tail is as the
glance of gold. 1t is instinct with ac-
ton. an action which has no apparent
purpose but that of display, and jerks
and writhes, curlS and twists with the
swiftnesS and light of sun ray. The
feck o. gold is vainglOriOus concerning
this tail. and when for his own edifica-
ton he folds it many times around his
body. Transforming himself into ball
of FURNISHED bullion, the brilliant eX-
hibition pleads hard in eXtenuatiOn of
the fellows vanity.
The fieck O. gold digs deep. and his
burrOw is regarded as an unfailing in
dication of the presence of gold. As a
matter of course, many and diverse
speculations are extant In regard to the
origin of this singular and brilliant little
animal. The theory most advanced and
believed in is that the fleck o. gold was
at first but common gopher, but that
constant contact with the golden soil in
which he burrowed so flecked his coat
with the precious yellow particles that
nature herself at last took cOgni-
zance of the matter, and the golden coat
was made hereditory. The extraordinary
length of the tail is accounted for by the
supposition that 1t is sympathetic
growth, designed especially by nature
as a brilliant adtertising vehicle of the
hidden riches of DEVILS Bite.

SHE CHANGED HER NAME.
Mrs. Onstad, of Fergus Falls,
Found at the Clark House.

Mrs. J. K. Onstad, wife of saloon
keeper in Fergus Falls, left her hus-
band few days ago, taking with her
$500 of her husbands money. Tom
Olson, who was running the saloon
for Onstad, disappeared at the same
time, and as the two had been on rather
posed they had eloped and COME
to Minneapolis. The police here were
notified. and they began a search for the
couple Mrs. 0nstad was finally found
at the Clark house, where she was reg
istered as Mrs. &. Fossmark." Olson
could not be found, and the clerk at the
hotel says that since Mrs. Onstad, or
''FOssmark.' as she called herself, has
been alone all the time. In her possess
sion was found $3.50. She refused to
talk. and went back to Fergus Falls yes
terday morning with deputy sheriff
from the place. The police are now
looking for Olson. who is supposed TO be
in the city. with the rest of the money in
his possession.

Holt herself was struggling with tape
line and pencil dotting down the meas

Holt for furnishing the most tasty and

there is the activity of inquiry perme-
ating the business in brisk and whole
